Your reasoning is just plain bad. This has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with you.
But speaking of that, when you get into all this Jungian non-corporeal nonsense do you realize you're just rehashing the plot of a Harlan Ellison story from 40 or more years ago?
See this is like the fifth time you've responded without addressing any of my arguments. You can say they're just bad, but I don't think they are at all and I think they're all perfectly defensible. In any case saying they're just bad isn't an argument at all.
Not only that, they match the evidence best in my opinion.
I think what bothers you the most is you think you come in the name of logic and reason and science and yet you can't debate me properly because I'm also coming from the same set of core foundational beliefs in reason and logic and science. I've just come to a conclusion you're uncomfortable with.
I just can't find it plausible or even reasonable to believe that every single account of the thousands and thousands that come in about Bigfoot or UFOs or paranormal are either hallucinations or people lying or people mistaking fog for a ghost!!
I've read far too many of these kinds of accounts for those simple minded explanations to sound reasonable. So then I just have to think about the odds of the thing. What are the odds there would be this much evidence piling up around a phenomenon that wasn't happening at all? What is more likely that this many people are hallucinating or lying or mistaking bigfoot for bears or that they're really seeing something?
I can't see any other way to reasonably come to a conclusion that they're not experiencing something. Then the only question is what is it that they are experiencing? So then I take in the accounts. I read hundreds and hundreds of them and listen to them also and I ask people I ask around. I've met many people that have seen UFOs and have had experience with Bigfoot and there's just no way I think they're lying so I'm convinced by the massive amount of evidence that this phenomenon is happening.
But if you take in all of the data, there appears to be similarities between the three kinds of phenomenon beneath the details of its manifestation and I think there are enough similarities to suggest a common source underneath them. Same goes if you read folklore safe from Ireland. Yes the manifestations are different but there seem to be common elements that are common to all of it. I'm not saying I know that's a fact I'm saying it's my hypothesis that Bigfoot aliens and paranormal are really all different branches of the exact same phenomenon.
So then it's either interdimensional beings or it's a dreamed up mythology this time a global one rather than a local one. And while there is evidence that seems to contradict this hypothesis, I think it is still the best one when you take in all of the data.
And so that is very interesting and wonderful. And one of the main things that supports my notion of this being a mythology is the evidence of primitive religion evolving around it. You have legitimate scientists doing rituals in the desert to call UFOs in and you also have very serious people doing rituals to get Bigfoot to come!!!
In the case of Bigfoot people report that it helps to leave trinkets and things on a stone, think altar, out in the woods and that you're more likely to have contact if you do so...
That sounds exactly like an emerging religion/mythology to me and that is profoundly interesting.
I guess to some smooth brains there's nothing there interesting except just to mock but I just can't even make sense of that perspective and lack of genuine curiosity about human beings honestly...
But also I've had direct encounter with the paranormal and with UFO's and so I know for a fact the phenomenon exists. Not only that, but during that period of my life, I was involved in activities that are known to be associated with having those kinds of experiences.
But even if I didn't, the plethora of reporting's across cultures and time frames should convince anyone that something is happening. It certainly convinced Carl Jung who himself had some experiences with the paranormal.
It is interesting to know the fact of a thing that is not commonly accepted and then watch the kinds of reasoning people use to defend that things existence or it's non-existence. I'm amazed at the profound lack of logical and reasoned argumentation that people give when they think a thing can't exist. It seems then logic and reason aren't very necessary and any old crappy explanation counts as proof!!
I'm sure you'll respond after not reading most of this post with something about my age now lol.
